Dan Radke scored two goals and Garret Clemment also had a goal for the Lakers. Kevin Murdock made 32 saves.

"Both nights we were down, yet found a way to come back for the win," Laker coach Jim Roque said. "It's really gratifying, to see the guys show resiliency like that.

"We're playing with good chemistry right now," Roque said. "I like this group. They work really hard, and we're getting production from a lot of areas in the lineup."

The Lakers trailed 1-0 after Bowling Green's Dajon Mingo scored unassisted in the first period.

It looked like the score would stay that way through two periods, but the Lakers broke through late in the second period.

Radke scored with just 11.8 seconds left in the stanza, after a big hit along the boards by Stephen Perfetto forced the Falcons into a turnover in their own zone. Colin Campbell and Kevin Czuczman drew assists.

LSSU took a 2-1 lead when freshman Clemment redirected a point shot from defenseman Andrew Perrault past Falcons' goalie Tomas Sholl at 2:25 of the third period. Andrew Perrault and Chris Ciotti picked up assists.

The Falcons answered with goals from Dan DeSalvo and Mingo to take a 3-2 lead.

Radke scored his second goal of the game and third of the season at 11:03 of the period, with an assist from Eric Drapluk.

Just 3:01 later, Schmitt scored the game-winner, pouncing on a rebound after a point shot from Czuczman. Schmitt spun around in the slot and banged home the winning goal.

The Falcons pulled Sholl for an extra-attacker for the final 1:20 but could not get the equalizer.

The Lakers were 0-for-3 on the power play Saturday and 0-for-4 in the series.

"We swept Bowling Green without scoring on the power play," Roque said. "You don't do that very often.

"I thought our defense played well all weekend, which was a big key. Our D played just like the last couple weeks when they carried us on the road. They are making the job easier for the forwards."

The Lakers had six freshmen forwards in the lineup Saturday night.

"The freshmen are getting better, and they have to play to get better," Roque said. "People forget that Mark Vermette only had one goal as a freshman. Kyle Jean only had one goal as a freshman. It's hard to be a freshman in college hockey."
